9.1 CiteScore

The CiteScore represents the average number of citations that each article published in a given journal is expected to receive over a four-year period. It is calculated by dividing the expected number of citations received in one year to documents published in the previous four years by the expected number of documents published in those same four years. Unlike the Impact Factor, which typically considers only certain document types, CiteScore includes a broader range of publication types such as research articles, reviews, conference papers, and data papers. As such, CiteScore provides a more comprehensive view of a journal's citation impact and can be a valuable tool for evaluating the overall visibility and scholarly influence of a journal over an extended timeframe.
